I am a ruler in troubled times

After entering the city, Song Peiyu immediately wrote to Qiu County, asking Qiu County to send a trustworthy master.

When the general arrived with the civil officials and minor officials who took over the new county, Song Peiyu had sorted out the new county almost.

It happened that the new county was handed over to the civil officials and minor officials who came from Qiu County, and he followed the general to the next county.

The news that Zhao Jun was approaching Luoyang again soon spread back to Luoyang.

As early as when the Yan army confronting Zhao Jun was transferred to Qin County, Emperor Mingzheng and Yan officials thought of this day. Although they still felt melancholy, they had long accepted the reality in their hearts.

They even secretly hope that Zhao Jun will arrive in Luoyang soon, otherwise they will have to worry about it day and night.

Where is Zhao Jun?

When will Zhao Jun arrive in Luoyang?

How will Zhao Jun treat them when he arrives in Luoyang?

……

It was almost torture.

However, Song Peiyu's behavior style is completely different from Chong Yi's.

When he first entered the dynasty, he did risky things because of his youth.

With the passage of time, his knowledge has become wider and wider, and his acting style has become more and more stable, including marching.

Although the [-] Zhao army has a new general, the general's role is only to attack the city.

When to set off for the next city, and how to repair the road, Song Peiyu has always made up his mind.

Every time Song Peiyu first captured a certain county, Song Peiyu had to carefully sort out the complicated interpersonal relationships in the county, and observe how the people and local forces viewed Zhao Jun before leading an army of [-] to move on to the next city.

Emperor Mingzheng and Yan Chen hoped day and night...Suddenly, they missed Prince Zhao who was far away at Jinshan Pass.

It's a pity that since Prince Zhao went north to Jinshan Pass, and Zhao Jun's large troops also chased after him, Jinshan Pass has been completely controlled by Zhao Jun.

Luoyang has not received news from Jinshan Pass for a long time, and it is not known who Zhao Jun and Turks have the upper hand.

Because of Zhao Jun's slow marching speed.

Emperor Mingzheng and Yan officials would appear in the main hall of the Great Court Meeting every morning and afternoon to discuss how they should bargain with Song Peiyu and strive for the greatest benefit when Song Peiyu came outside Luoyang City.

It turned out that only every morning, they would briefly appear in the main hall of the Dachaohui to inform each other whether Zhao Jun was quiet again today.

Up to now, the Grand Court Meeting, which had been resumed every three days, has gradually changed to once every five days, and there is even a trend of longer intervals.

When will there be movement from Zhao Jun who is slowly approaching Luoyang, and when will there be a grand court meeting.

As more and more counties were occupied by Zhao Jun, Luoyang couldn't even get in touch with Ji Tong who was chasing Chen Guobite in Yuzhou, so what's the use of going to court?

Finally received the news that Song Peiyu had mobilized another [-] troops from Qiu County and was leading a total of [-] Zhao troops to march towards Luoyang from the county closest to Luoyang.

Emperor Mingzheng and Yan Chen waved back the messengers, and after dinner in a leisurely manner, they ordered their servants to prepare the clothes for them to wear tomorrow, and then went to sleep peacefully.

The next day, everyone woke up early.

Emperor Mingzheng looked at the dragon robe and crown on the tray with complicated eyes. Unless Zhao Guo wanted to hold a grand surrender ceremony, today would be the last time he would wear a dress that could represent the status of an emperor.

The officials of Yan who were preparing to put on their court uniforms at their respective homes had the same thought as Emperor Mingzheng flashed through their minds.

This was probably the last time they wore the court clothes of the Yan State.

Da Sikong even couldn't help holding the clothes and shed a few tears, so startled that the servant rushed to get new clothes without wrinkles or stains.

Ming Zhengdi and his courtiers successively appeared in the main hall of the previous dynasty.

Everyone glanced at each other calmly, and no one knew what to say.

There were obviously many people in the hall, but it seemed terrifyingly empty because of the silence.

Suddenly there was a loud 'grunt' sound breaking the silence.

Everyone who was staring blankly looked in the direction of the sound.

Wu Jinfei, who had turned white in less than half a year, lowered his head firmly, as if as long as he didn't meet people's eyes, no one would notice that the voice just now came from his stomach.

Unfortunately, some things are out of control after all.

'Grumble'

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a voice that was louder than before rang out cheerfully.

Embarrassed, Wu Jinfei raised his hands and covered his face with his sleeves. Although he was not as hopeless as Da Sikong, who shed tears at the court clothes, he also had various complications in his heart, how could he be in the mood to eat.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jun, who was supposed to arrive in Luoyang at Chenshi, did not arrive until Weishi.

Emperor Mingzheng coughed lightly, showing a rare emotion of understanding towards the courtiers, and was about to open his mouth to rescue Wu Jinfei, when the same sound sounded from a different place.

'grunt'

'grunt'

'Grumble'

……

Even the same voice sounded from the throne.

After a while, Emperor Mingzheng looked thoughtfully at the eunuch beside him.

When the number of people with stomach growls increases, those who do not growl become more obvious.

The big eunuch stood on the spot watching his nose, nose, nose, and heart, with sweat dripping from his forehead along the tip of his nose.

If he had known it would be the current situation, he would rather spoil the pastry that Emperor Mingzheng gave him than eat it!

"Let the kitchen serve some cakes for the lovers." Emperor Mingzheng looked away in a dismayed manner, and suddenly there was a slight emotion in his heart.

The chief eunuch immediately ran out of the hall as if he had received an amnesty.

After a while, the chief eunuch came back with a look of embarrassment on his face, knelt in the middle of the hall and refused to speak.

Emperor Mingzheng was so angry that he laughed, "What's the matter, I have not abdicated, so I can't move them?"

The eunuch whispered, "Returning to Your Majesty, the small kitchen has not prepared anything today. If we start the fire now, it will take at least an hour before the pastries can be served."

Emperor Mingzheng slapped the imperial case hard with his hand, making a dull sound.

"Your Majesty calm down," the courtiers said in unison.

"What is there to be angry about?" Emperor Mingzheng asked, "I was thinking about where to stay after leaving the palace, they..."

"Your Majesty, the scouts are here to report!" The guards came in from the door, interrupting Emperor Mingzheng's anger just right.

Before Emperor Mingzheng could speak, some courtiers couldn't wait to say, "Let him in quickly!"

The scout wearing light armor just entered the door, and before he had time to kneel down in the center of the hall, he was hit on his head by various questions from all directions.

"Has Zhao Jun entered the city yet?"

"The leader is Song Peiyu? Did King Su come from Xianyang?"

"Is Zhao Jun at the gate of the city, or outside the palace?"

……

The scout was stunned for a moment, then knelt down on one knee towards Emperor Mingzheng.

I don't know if he was frightened by the pressing questions from all directions, but the scout's voice sounded as if he hadn't eaten enough, and there was even an undetectable tremor in his weak voice, "Zhao Jun has already bypassed Luoyang and rushed to Xin County. "

The courtiers asked a few more questions before they suddenly realized what the scout had said, and immediately froze on the spot with different expressions.

They got up early.After bathing, burning incense and changing into official clothes, I waited for a long time with complicated emotions.

As a result, Zhao Jun bypassed Luoyang?

The stagnant atmosphere in the hall lasted for a long time, and Wu Jinfei, who was clutching his stomach, managed to smooth things over, "Perhaps Song Peiyu bypassed Luoyang because Prince Zhao was not there. Prince Zhao personally accepting His Majesty's surrender can also be regarded as a It is because Zhao Guo attaches great importance to Luoyang, and..."

Ji Tong, who was far away in Yuzhou, didn't know what was going on now.

If Ji Tong took part of the land in Yuzhou, they, the former officials of the Yan State, could be regarded as returning with the city, which would be better than being forced to surrender by the State of Zhao.

Everyone understands the truth, but...

Emperor Mingzheng and the officials of Yan looked at the direction of Xin County at the same time, thinking the same thought in their hearts.

If I had known it earlier, I would have taken the initiative to leave the city and blocked Zhao Jun's only way.

They had had enough of worrying and fearing this way!

Wu Jinfei guessed right, Song Peiyu never planned to lead troops into Luoyang from the very beginning.

In addition to wanting Chongyi to personally plant the Zhao flag on the city wall of Luoyang, Song Peiyu also wanted to rush to the east of Yizhou and the border of Yanzhou as soon as possible.

He wanted to take advantage of Chen State and Chu State's overwhelmed time to communicate with Yanzhou and Qingzhou.

With the momentum of Zhao Guo and Chen Guo, it is only a matter of time before Yanzhou and Qingzhou are annexed by Zhao Guo or Chen Guo, but Song Peiyu has never received any news from Yanzhou or Qingzhou to contact Zhao Guo.

This is not a good sign.

When she finally reached Xi County, the easternmost part of Yizhou, Song Peiyu received a battle report from Jinshan Pass on the city wall filled with Zhao flags.

The Turks came prepared, and the Yan army at Jinshan Pass was very passive.

Thanks to Chong Yi who led [-] cavalry to arrive in time, they rushed out from the rear of the Turks who were attacking the city, and caught the Turks by surprise.

Otherwise, Jinshan Pass would have been breached long ago.

After several confrontations, Zhao Jun found that the Turks were the most difficult enemy they encountered.

The Turks are as strong as black bears, and their war horses are no worse than the horses that the Zhao cavalry got from Tuyuhun and Dangxiang.

The two fought against each other, and it was the Turks who had the upper hand.

If it weren't for Chongyi's ability to always open a gap in the offensive formation of the Turkic cavalry, even with the support of Zhao Jun's cavalry, Jinshan Pass would not be able to defend.

Unknowingly, the prestige of Prince Zhao resounded throughout Turkic.

The king of Turkic even sent a letter to Chong Yi, expressing his willingness to negotiate peace with Zhao Guo, asking Zhao Guo to build a rare goods city on the Turkic territory, and to betroth his daughter to Prince Zhao as the crown princess.

The letter said that only a warrior like Prince Zhao is worthy of his daughter.

Song Peiyu's eyes lingered on the word 'Crown Princess' for a while longer, but she didn't feel any sense of crisis because of it, but somehow thought of the twelve sets of python robes with complete accessories that she received from Emperor Yonghe during the Chinese New Year.

Song Peiyu was absent-mindedly looking at the next page of letter paper, only to realize that this letter had come to an abrupt end.

He re-read the letter paper he had read again, but still found nothing new.

Jin Bao carefully glanced at the corners of Song Peiyu's mouth that was getting straighter and straighter, then looked at the envelope in Song Peiyu's hand, and couldn't help scratching his head.

It's a letter from Jinshan Pass, right?

Although His Highness seldom writes letters in person, every time the master receives a letter from the front, he is in a good mood. What happened today.

Could it be that the sword has no eyes on the battlefield and hurt His Highness?

Before Jin Bao decided whether to ask or not, Song Peiyu had already looked over, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing important. Someone from Yanzhou said that the younger brother of King Yanzhou is going to visit you..." Jin Bao shrugged, knowing that Song Peiyu would definitely refuse, but he wouldn't hide it from Song Peiyu because of this. The little granddaughter is very curious about the style of Yizhou, but she has never found a chance to come to Yizhou to play, and she wants to take advantage of Duanxu County Prince to visit you this time, and let the princess fulfill her wish so that she can choose a son-in-law to marry."

Jin Bao emphasized the tone of "choosing a son-in-law to marry", and specially reminded Soong Peiyu of the deeper meaning of the so-called Yanzhou king's granddaughter yearning for Yizhou's style.

Sure enough, Song Peiyu said without hesitation, "If the king of the county comes to Yizhou for fun, no matter who he takes with him, it is up to him. If he comes to Yizhou to discuss important matters, it is best not to bring the female relatives with him, lest he has no time to take care of the female relatives. Let the female relatives feel wronged."

Jin Bao's chick nodded as if pecking at rice.

He already understood how to talk back to the people from Yanzhou.

Before leaving, Jin Bao glanced at the stacked letter papers in Song Peiyu's hands again, and finally couldn't hold back his worry, and asked in a low voice, "Is Your Highness safe at the front line?"

Song Peiyu thought that Jin Bao got the news from other places, and subconsciously asked, "Why do you ask?"

Jin Bao said honestly, "I see that your complexion is not very good."

Song Peiyu said without even thinking about it, "I don't have it, you read it wrong, go get busy."

After finishing speaking, before Jin Bao could reply, Song Peiyu had already turned around and walked towards the inner room.

Jin Bao stared at Song Peiyu's back in dumbfounded, with even more worry in his eyes.

Is His Highness seriously injured?

Shouldn't be.

Otherwise, the master will definitely not take care of the King of Yanzhou, and must go to Jinshan Pass immediately.

Jin Bao stroked his stubble-grown chin.

Could it be... There was a quarrel?

It's even more impossible.

The two never quarreled when they met every day, but now that they are so far apart, His Highness is still very reluctant to write letters, how could they quarrel.

After returning to the inner room, Song Peiyu carefully sorted out the messy letter papers in his hand.

It was exactly the same as what he had already remembered in his heart, and nothing was added out of thin air.

Opening the dragon pattern pouch that came with the letter, inside was an amber ornament that Song Peiyu had never seen before, just enough for someone to hold and play with in the palm of his hand.

The engraver can already be described as a superb workmanship, but for some reason, the top of the amber kitten's head seems to be a little bald.

Song Peiyu stared straight at the amber kitten who was fixed with a squinting expression, which was about [-]% like him, and subconsciously touched the top of his head.

Very good, starting with thick hair, I can't feel the scalp at all.

If Jin Bao hadn't been locked out of the door, he would have found that Song Peiyu's mood was completely different from just now, and even the upturned eyes were full of joy.

After carefully finding out every detail of the amber kitten, Song Peiyu satisfactorily put the amber kitten back into the purse embroidered with dragon patterns, put the purse with dragon patterns in her arms, and wrote the letter in person.

Chong Yi doesn't like writing letters, but Song Peiyu is completely opposite to Chong Yi. He likes the process of writing down the experiences that Chong Yi didn't participate in, stroke by stroke on paper.

Because he was not sure whether the letter could be successfully delivered to Chong Yi, Song Peiyu's words when writing letters were always reserved, and they were all small things that he experienced in his daily life.

Even if the letter was intercepted by someone with ulterior motives, the person who received the letter would only complain that Song Peiyu talked too much nonsense and would not have any other ideas.

Song Peiyu wrote down his only time as the chief general on letter paper.

Recalling what happened that day, Song Peiyu still couldn't laugh or cry.

He couldn't resist writing at the end:

'I don't know if Your Highness thinks that I have the talent to become a famous general? '

Song Peiyu didn't realize how much he had written, and the letter paper spread out to dry the ink unconsciously covered the entire table.

Seeing that there was no room left to hang the letter paper on the table, Song Peiyu gradually slowed down her brush strokes.

He pondered for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he finally decided what to write in the last blank space.

"Now in Xixian County, the envoys of Yanzhou want to visit, and they talk about the prince and daughter of Yanzhou going with them. '

Not long after this letter was sent, there was news from Qingzhou, which had never heard from it.

Qingzhou also wants to send envoys to analyze the county. The leader is King Yingying, the father-in-law of the king of Qingzhou. Qingzhou also hinted that he would bring the royal women with him.

Song Peiyu told the envoy of Qingzhou the reason why he refused the granddaughter of the king of Yanzhou to come to the county.

Five days later, King Duanxu, the younger brother of King Yanzhou, came to Xi County with a letter written by King Yanzhou, accompanied by nearly 500 guards and a fragrant carriage.

Looking at the regulations of the carriage and the family emblem on it, one can tell that the person in the carriage is the granddaughter of King Yanzhou.

Song Peiyu, who took the initiative to greet him ten miles away from Xixian County, saw the carriage, and the enthusiasm on his face became perfunctory visible to the naked eye.

Duke Duanxu saw the change in Song Peiyu's expression, but he didn't take it seriously.

As for men, they are still men in power. It is normal for them to be unhappy when they find out that someone violates their will.

With Ning'er's demeanor and beauty, as long as the two meet at the welcome banquet, Song Peiyu will not be tempted.

Even though she was unhappy, Song Peiyu did not immediately turn against Prince Duanxu.

After exchanging greetings, Song Peiyu raised her hand to signal Xixian behind her, and said apologetically, "I'm still waiting here for Duke Qing of Qingzhou. Captain Wang will accompany you to Xixian."

The lieutenant who followed Song Peiyu to attack the city that day, that is, Captain Wang, although he never knew that he had such a mission before, his reaction speed was not slow.

He trotted over immediately, and cupped his hands at Prince Duanxu, "My lord, please."

Duke Duanxu was pushed back again and again by Captain Wang who rushed over suddenly. If the people behind him were not smart enough, he would almost fall to the ground because of his unsteady standing.

After finally keeping his figure steady, Duke Duanxu's face was darker than the bottom of the pot.

Song Peiyu didn't welcome him into Xixian County, and only sent a captain to lead him the way, but he personally welcomed Qingzhou Yinggong into Xixian County.

What does it mean?

Is it that Yanzhou is not as good as Qingzhou, or is Duanxu County King not as good as the Duke of England?

King Duanxu suppressed his anger reluctantly, and did not look at Lieutenant Wang's obtrusive black face. He stared at Song Peiyu, whose gentle smile never changed, and said in a swallowed voice, "I didn't expect the British Duke to be with the little one." When Wang Tongtian arrived, it happened that Xiao Wang hadn’t seen Duke Ying for a long time, so it’s okay to wait with Mr. Song for a while.”

The apology on Song Peiyu's face was even worse. His hesitant eyes moved from the face of Duke Duanxu to the gorgeous carriage decorated with pink window screens, "But the Duke of England will take at least three hours to arrive. If the prince can make it, The county master probably wants to see the style of Yizhou that he has been thinking about earlier."

After hearing Song Peiyu's words, Prince Duanxu lost control of his expression in an instant, as if he wanted to eat a living person raw.

There are three more hours?

It was enough for Song Peiyu to run back and forth ten times between here and Xi County, there is still room!

Remembering Brother Wang's advice when he set off from Yanzhou, Prince Duanxu suppressed the anger that hit his forehead, and said in a muffled voice, "It's okay, Ning'er has been working hard for days, so she should take a good rest."

Captain Wang put his head in front of King Duanxu with a puzzled face, and his voice was as loud as a drum, "Since the county lord is tired, the lord should bring the county lord into the city as soon as possible. Anyway, the British prince is going to the city too. , and live next door to you, are you afraid that you won't see the British government?"

Looking at Duanxu County King's aggrieved and patient expression, Song Peiyu couldn't help but look at Xiaowei Wang a few more times, and couldn't tell whether Xiaowei Wang was really stupid or fake.

Duke Duanxu stayed after all, and waited with a sullen face until the team of envoys from Qingzhou stopped next to the envoys from Yanzhou in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Duke Ying is the father-in-law of the king of Qingzhou, so he is not young, but he gallops at the front of the horse, looking at Song Peiyu and Duanxu who have already got up, more energetic than the young guards behind him.

"Master Song" the British Duke nodded to Song Peiyu first, and after getting off his horse, he looked at Duke Duanxu, "Why is the prince here, is it just a coincidence to rest?"

Prince Duanxu smiled awkwardly, acquiescing to what the Duke of England said.

However, Xiaowei Wang let out a very loud and suspicious voice, "Why should you be embarrassed, you clearly miss the Duke of the country, and you have waited from morning until now!"

Prince Duanxu's face twitched visibly with the naked eye, and his fingers quickly slid across the saber at his waist. He could already feel the strange eyes of the Duke of England looking at him.

Song Peiyu took half a step forward, standing between Prince Duanxu and Colonel Wang, and said to Britain, "Why did the Duke bring a hundred guards?"

The British Duke slowly withdrew his eyes from the frame of Yanzhou Wang and his wife, "I received a letter from Mr. Song on the way, saying that we should not bring our female relatives with us when we talk about business, otherwise I might not be able to concentrate. I think it makes sense. So I asked most of the guards to escort my granddaughter back to Qingzhou. Now it seems... Could it be that the letter I received was not written by Mr. Song himself?"

Song Peiyu would not take the blame for Duanxu County King, and sold Duanxu County King completely without blinking, "Maybe the Duke received a letter from XX, but Duanxu County King did not."

Prince Duanxu had a dull face, staring at the tip of his shoe expressionlessly, pretending not to hear the conversation between British Duke and Song Peiyu.

Although the two people didn't say anything when they got to the bottom of it, Duke Duanxu had preconceived ideas and always felt that these two people were mocking him.

Unexpectedly, he made a mistake first, and couldn't find a reason to refute it.

All he could do was wait for Song Peiyu and Yingying to let go of this matter without saying a word, and don't pick up any pots that are not open.

Hearing that Song Peiyu said that a letter with the same content was sent to him and King Duanxu, the unhappiness on the British Duke's face dissipated.

Let's look at the dissatisfaction that Duanxu County King tried his best to conceal, but it was still superficial.

What else does the British public not understand?

He naturally changed the topic, and talked to Song Peiyu about the King of Qingzhou who was still in Qingzhou.

After the people from Yanzhou and Qingzhou arrived in Xixian County, they only chatted with Song Peiyu about family affairs, and kept silent about the situation in Kyushu.

Even if Song Peiyu brought the topic to the general trend of Kyushu, Prince Duanxu and the British Duke would not answer the conversation, and would only bypass the topic.

Over time, Song Peiyu understood the attitudes of Yanzhou and Qingzhou.

After recognizing the fact that they were destined to be annexed by Zhao or Chen, both Yanzhou King and Qingzhou King wanted to sell their ancestral property for a good price.

After several days of probing each other, Song Peiyu suddenly pointed out the situation in Kyushu to King Duanxu and the British Duke during the private conversation, forcing them to express their views.

As expected, both of them came prepared. Although there were varying degrees of shock on their faces, they were not at all embarrassed when they raised the conditions.

The king of Yanzhou was willing to submit a letter of surrender to Zhao Guo, on the condition that he would sworn brothers with Emperor Yonghe as a brother of the opposite sex, retain his title of king of Yanzhou, and ask Emperor Yonghe to grant him Yanzhou as a fief and not interfere in Yanzhou's military affairs.

In addition, Duke Duanxu also implicitly stated that the three strange goods cities are all in the west of Kyushu, and there should be a strange goods city in the east.

The king of Yanzhou will fully support the construction of the strange goods city, and is willing to station troops in the strange goods city to ensure that the strange goods city will not be disturbed by bandits or villains.

Song Peiyu listened to Duke Duanxu's words, and silently put down the teacup.

There is no need to drink this tea, he is already full.

Unless everyone from the Emperor Yonghe down to all the Zhao officials fell insane.Zhao Guocai agreed to Yanzhou King's outrageous request.

How can there be such a good thing in the world?

Just add the word "Zhao Guo" in front of Yanzhou, and I don't want to hand over military power, nor do I want to hand over the political power. I just want to get a city of rare goods for nothing.

After perfunctory Duke Duanxu's words, Song Peiyu went to see the British Duke again.

It is also straight to the point that Dao Ming and Kyushu will unite, and the British public will not be given any chance to scrutinize him.

The British Duke immediately expressed shock, but found that Song Peiyu was not in high spirits. Although the corners of his lips were curled up, there was no smile in his eyes.

He immediately remembered that when he first arrived in Xixian County, Duanxu County King had quietly approached him and discussed with him about Yanzhou and Qingzhou joining forces to force Zhao Guo to retreat.

At that time, the British Duke did not hesitate to reject Duke Duanxu.

Now the British public has not changed their minds.

If you don't discuss it with Zhao Guo, do you want to compromise with Chen Gou who fled south?

At that time, the barbarian iron cavalry broke through the Jinshan pass and wreaked havoc in the north.

The Qingzhou family watched helplessly as the former dynasty crossed the Yellow River with the remaining elite. No matter how the Qingzhou family prayed, the former dynasty did not turn back.

On the other side of the river is Qingzhou, which was trampled by the Turks and full of mourning.

On the other side of the river is Chen Guo, who is huddled in Jinling, singing and dancing.

His good son-in-law would rather go to Xianyang, not to win the trust of Emperor Yonghe like King Liang, at least to be a rich and noble man like King Anping of Weiguo.

He is also unwilling to compromise with Chen Gou in order to retain his authority in Qingzhou.

Only because Prince Zhao can choose Jinshan Pass without hesitation between Luoyang and Jinshan Pass, Qingzhou will always look up to Zhao Guo.

After gaining experience with Prince Duanxu, Song Peiyu no longer had much hope for the conversation with the Duke of England.

Even if Zhao Guo is eager to win Yanzhou and Qingzhou when Chen Guo and Chu Guo are too busy to take care of themselves, so as to avoid more twists and turns in the future, and is willing to make some concessions, there are prerequisites for concessions.

Otherwise, what would King Liang think, who had already become King Liang of Zhao State and led the Xiliang Army to fight for Zhao State?

Even if the King of Liang must not go out of Xianyang without an imperial decree, the son of King Liang can only stay in Xiliang to control the Xiliang Army before he inherits the throne of King Liang.

The king of Yanzhou actually wanted to remain in Yanzhou as the "Emperor of Earth", and also wanted to prostitute himself in the strange goods city.

Not turning his face on the spot and letting the envoys of Yanzhou get out of Xixian County is already a sign of Soong Peiyu's self-cultivation getting better and better.

After finding that Song Peiyu was absent-minded, the British prince immediately guessed that Song Peiyu, who had just gone to have dinner with the Yanzhou envoy in the morning, had broken down the conversation with the Yanzhou envoy who was sure to talk like a lion.

The British Duke pondered for a moment, threw away all the nonsense, and tried to get straight to the point, "When the old man left Qingzhou, the prince once told the old man that he admired Emperor Yonghe very much. If there is a chance, he hopes to visit Xianyang in person."

Song Peiyu regained her spirits, but her expression didn't change much, she still looked sickly.

'in person', 'see you'

Just these two words are more sincere than the nonsense that Prince Duanxu has said all morning.

At least King Qingzhou is willing to go to Xianyang.

Song Peiyu quickly found out the request of King Qingzhou from the British public.

King Qingzhou is willing to take his family to Xianyang, but he requires that his title and mansion should not be inferior to King Liang, at least in front of King Anping.

The prince's son will stay in Qingzhou until he inherits the throne, and then go to Xianyang.

The royal family and nobles who already have titles in Qingzhou cannot be lowered, nor can they lower their treatment.

……

Most of the conditions are compared with that of King Liang. In other parts, only Qingzhou has the conditions that the titled royal family and nobles cannot be lowered, which will make Zhao Guo very embarrassed.

The five generations of the Qingzhou royal family lived under the same roof, and there were too many relatives inside and out.

The population of Zhao's royal family is probably several times that of Qingzhou's royal family.

Since the founding of the country, there have been only two courtiers with hereditary titles in Zhao State. They are Cheng Enhou, the father of the Luo family in the Yuan Dynasty, and Uncle Yunyang, Song Peiyu's elder brother.

There are courtiers with hereditary titles in Qingzhou... Count them carefully, maybe they can make a polo team.

In addition to the conditions related to the title, although the other conditions are trivial, they are not considered embarrassing, but they can better reflect the sincerity of King Qingzhou.

Compared with Yanzhou, which is daydreaming, Qingzhou still has room for negotiation.

Since coming to Xi County, Duke Duanxu has spent a lot of money to bribe the people around Song Peiyu, trying to grasp Song Peiyu's whereabouts and emotions.

Feeling that the first conversation with Song Peiyu was not very smooth, Prince Duanxu immediately asked people to pay close attention to Song Peiyu's movements.

Not long after, Duke Duanxu got the news.

After Song Peiyu left him, she went back to her residence to rest for a while, and then went to the residence of Qingzhou envoy.

After Duke Duanxu heard the news, he kept walking around the room.

From his point of view, of course he does not want Qingzhou to reach a consensus with Zhao Guo before Yanzhou.

That old wretch of Yingying Gong... I don't know if Song Peiyu will say anything, he will agree to whatever.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that Prince Duanxu, whose legs were numb from waiting, received the news that Song Peiyu left the British residence with a smile all over her face.

Song Peiyu has always maintained the habit of perfect Duan Shui before formally challenging the general situation of Kyushu with Prince Duanxu and the British Duke.

In the morning, I will go to Duanxu County King, and in the afternoon I will definitely visit the Duke of England.

Or I went to see the British Duke in the morning, and in the afternoon I would make an appointment with Duke Duanxu.

It was as if Song Peiyu suddenly forgot that there was Prince Duanxu in Xixian County, and took the British prince to play around every day, and even sent a special car to Qingzhou, saying that he would dedicate it to the King of Qingzhou to watch the excitement.

Even when Duke Duanxu took the initiative to invite, Song Peiyu often postponed, only willing to go to the appointment once or twice out of ten times.

Prince Duanxu could still hold his breath on the surface, but his attitude towards Song Peiyu became more and more indifferent, but in private, he was angry and irritable like an ant on a hot pot.

Seeing that Song Peiyu refused to go to the appointment once or twice out of ten times, Duke Duanxu smashed everything that could be smashed in the residence, and the people who bought him with all the money through him only brought a dozen or so guards, taking advantage of the night Quietly out of the city, went straight to Yanzhou.

Since Zhao Guo is not benevolent, don't blame Yanzhou for being unjust.

As long as Yanzhou blocks the eastern and western fronts respectively, he wants to see how Zhao Guo and Qingzhou, which are located on both sides of Yanzhou, can collude with each other!

The hot wind finally blows away the dark clouds that obscured the moonlight, allowing the bright moonlight to fall on the quiet city again.

Song Peiyu stood in the shadow, watching the Yanzhou people's backs disappear completely with a half-smile, and coldly ordered the people behind him, "Early tomorrow morning, drive the remaining people in Yanzhou out of Xi County."

He also thought that Duke Duanxu might be wiser after he felt the obvious difference between the Yanzhou envoys and the Qingzhou envoys.

At least realize how outrageous the conditions proposed by Yanzhou are.

Unexpectedly, the conditions put forward by Yanzhou were not as outrageous as Duke Duanxu.

I don't know whether it's the heat or the anger, since the second day after Duke Duanxu left, the princess of Yanzhou rushed to Song Peiyu's yard facing Zhao Jun's blade, and yelled for Song Peiyu to hand over Duke Duanxu After that, Song Peiyu began to stay in bed.

It's not a big problem, just dizziness and nausea, a typical symptom of heat.

However, Jin Bao and Yin Bao seemed to be on the verge of a formidable enemy, fearing that the envoys from Yanzhou had poisoned Song Peiyu, so they called many doctors with great fanfare.

The final conclusion was the same as Yinbao's initial diagnosis.

It is heatstroke.

In the entire Yan Kingdom, all cities except Luoyang were occupied by Zhao Jun.

The bargaining with the British public has also temporarily stopped, and the next step is mainly to see the opinions of Xianyang and Qingzhou.

Song Peiyu was free again, and under the endless persuasion of Jin Bao and Yin Bao, she began to live a life of convalescence in the dark.

One day, after Song Peiyu woke up, there was still a happy smile on the corner of her mouth.

He dreamed that after Chong Yi beat the Turks, he immediately rushed to Xi County to reunite with him.

Ringing the bell to call the people outside, Song Peiyu found that Jinbao and Yinbao were also very happy, subconsciously raising the corners of his mouth, "What is the happy event that makes you so happy?"

Jin Bao and Yin Bao looked at each other and said in unison, "Master is happy, so naturally we will be happy too."

Song Peiyu touched the corner of her mouth subconsciously, "How do you know that I had a good dream?"

"Dream?" Yin Bao was stunned, keeping his finger on Song Peiyu's wrist, and raised his head in surprise, "Master knows that His Highness came to Xixian County last night, and still regarded it as a dream?" The person who was stunned turned into Song Peiyu, Before he fully realized what Yin Bao said, he stretched his head to look behind the screen, "Is he really here?"

Seeing that Song Peiyu was about to step on the ground barefoot, Jin Bao quickly bent down and took out the shoes under the bed, "Master, don't worry! Your Highness is not in the city."

Song Peiyu still put on her shoes and walked to the window, then turned her head and asked Jin Bao carefully, "Why is he not in the city, does he have something important to do?"

Jin Bao and Yin Bao looked at each other again, with an unconcealable guilty conscience on their faces, and said slowly, "Your Highness saw you lying in bed, and blamed us for not taking good care of you. We couldn't help but justify ourselves, saying that you He was sick because of Yanzhou's popularity..."

Song Peiyu unconsciously clenched the window frame, a strange premonition suddenly rose in her heart, and her voice became gentle, "And then?"

This time it was Yin Bao who was also unable to hide his qi deficiency, "His Royal Highness heard that you just drank the medicine and would not wake up for at least five or six hours, so you dispatched troops to Le County."

Song Peiyu walked back to the bed with a dazed expression, lay on her back on the bed and stared blankly at the top of the bed.

Le County is the nearest county seat in Yanzhou to Xixian County in Yizhou, and it is also one of the Eight Passes of Yanzhou.
